## About Ansys PathFinder
Ansys PathFinder helps you plan, verify and sign-off IP and full-chip SoC designs for integrity and robustness against electrostatic discharge (ESD). The analysis is performed at the layout and circuit levels to help you identify and isolate design issues that can cause chip or IP failure from charged-device model (CDM), human body model (HBM) or other ESD events.
